Virtual Museum

Service learning allows students to link their classroom
learning to “real-life” experiences in the community.
At its best, service learning has been shown to improve student
learning, address community needs, facilitate public debate and
dialogue, and create a campus that partners with its community.
Each semester more and more CSUCI students are involved in an array
of service learning courses , allowing them to work on community
issues and needs.To learn more about the types of service projects
and contributions CSUCI students are making to the community please
enjoy a walk through our virtual service learning museum.
